Mission

Member-based, voluntary income redistribution.

Every member contributes.

Every member benefits.

Now.

Core tenants

nonpartisan

The organisation will not involve itself in politics, e.g. it would not advocate for or against a governmental basic income. Support for basic income comes from all corners of the political spectrum: traditional progressives, libertarians and conservatives.

Transparent

Everything from meeting minutes to full expense breakdowns would be made available to members. Operating documents, and any software would be made publicly available. The reality is that you can’t please everyone. If others want to organise differently, they shouldn’t need to reinvent the wheel. Call it the “standing on the shoulders” principle, if you will.

Efficient

The aspiration is that every dollar that comes in will be dispersed as a basic income payment. Targeting 99%+ efficiency.
